 Kit to Stock

Purpose

Providing you are using SAP Extended Warehouse Management (SAP EWM), you can trigger kit to stock through corresponding planning in ERP (or APO). In this case, production orders in ERP are used as a basis for creating inbound and outbound deliveries. These deliveries are then sent to EWM, where a value-added service order is created.

Example Example

For example, you want to produce and put away kits. You have put away the components required for this in the same warehouse, and the production process takes place within the warehouse. After withdrawing the kit components, a goods issue confirmation for the outbound delivery is sent to SAP ERP, and after production and putaway of the kit, a goods receipt confirmation for the inbound delivery is sent to SAP ERP.

End of the example.

For more information about kit to stock from within EWM, see SAP Library for SAP SCM or SCM EWM under Start of the navigation path Extended Warehouse Management Next navigation step Goods Receipt Next navigation step Kit to Stock End of the navigation path .

Prerequisites

To be able to use kit to stock across multiple systems, you have connected SAP EWM to SAP ERP.

Settings in SAP ERP

  • You have activated business function LE, Extended Warehouse Management Integration .

  • You have assigned the production scheduling profile required for kit-to-stock production orders with the indicator set to 'Kit-to-Stock in EWM'to the kit material either directly in the material master in the work scheduling view, or to the substitute production supervisor from the order-type-specific parameters.

  • You have assigned the production storage location of the kit material and of all components to a warehouse number managed in SAP EWM. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) under Start of the navigation path Enterprise Structure Next navigation step Assignment Next navigation step Logistics Execution Next navigation step Assign warehouse number to plant/storage location End of the navigation path .

  • You have assigned a customer to the execution plant of the order, and maintained sales data. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Materials Management under Start of the navigation path Purchasing Next navigation step Purchase Order Next navigation step Set up Stock Transport Order Next navigation step Define Shipping Data for Plants End of the navigation path . You also need to have assigned a supplier to the planning plant.

  • If you also want to post a confirmation for the production order together with the goods receipt of the kit header, copy BAdI implementation KTS_ORDER_CONFIRM into a new implementation, and activate it.

Settings in SAP EWM

  • In SAP EWM, you have maintained the assignment of ERP delivery types to EWM delivery types. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Interfaces Next navigation step ERP Integration Next navigation step Delivery Processing Next navigation step Map Document Types from ERP System to EWM System End of the navigation path .

  • You must also define the order type that is to be used for the VAS order. For more information, see the Implementation Guide (IMG) for Extended Warehouse Management under Start of the navigation path Cross-Process Settings Next navigation step Value-Added Services (VAS) Next navigation step Define Order Types for VAS for Kit to Stock End of the navigation path .

Process Flow

  1. You create a production order in the ERP system manually or from within planning.

  2. Upon releasing the production order, the ERP system generates an inbound delivery for the kit header and an outbound delivery for the kit components.

  3. The system transfers both deliveries to the EWM system.

  4. The EWM system generates a VAS order for the outbound delivery and inbound delivery.

  5. During confirmation of goods issue for the kit components and of goods receipt for the kit in the EWM system, goods receipt and goods issue are automatically confirmed to the ERP system.
